I am brand new, I just did W1D1 yesterday, and I'm not sure what speed settings I should use for my run or walk.
Please help!
Treadmill speeds?
Re: Treadmill speeds?
That depends very much on the type of treadmill your on. My advice would be to go at the slowest possible speed that is still jogging so just find that speed and stick with it throughout the programme.
This 9 week programme is all about building up the stamina you need and speed will come afterwards so just find that pace and work on the distance increases and you will be fine. This will also give you some consistancy to measure your progress against and reduce your suseptability to injury which is common with new runners who try to go too fast.

You can run but you'll just die tired

Re: Treadmill speeds?
Thank you so much! I just wasn't sure what I should do. I'm doing a 5k in April and I wanted to be ready for it.
